That is both really cool and really weird all at the same time. It took a couple looks to see the hammock part of it. At 3 lbs 9oz it is still about a pound lighter than my TNF tent I sent back to REI and used the money for my hh.

The only issue that I would see is hanging really close to the ground. That and you would loose the site selection advantages of hammocks. But yeah for car camping and if you have the money I would like to see some pics in action.

I think that's a really cool concept. I really like the tarp design. Anybody think it's a little shady that there is no pic, only a drawing?

I didn't even think about that, but it does seem a little odd that there is no actual photo of their own product. For one, I would probably not want to buy something like that until I saw a photograph of an acutal item, preferably in use like REI is so fond of doing on their website with many items.

I think most commercial tents can be made lighter. They do not use sil out of duribility issues with the mases. That alone would gain you a lot. Add in regular noseeum for the netting and your trekking poles for tent poles. With all of that you could make this for close to 2 lbs.
